Jude the Apostle (Wikipedia)

Wikipedia, read 2026-08-18

A Wikipedia article on Jude the Apostle, recording that Jude Thaddeus is commonly depicted with a club and, in icons, a flame around his head representing his presence at Pentecost, and that he is remembered with Simon the Zealot in a shared 28 October feast, the same traditional pairing seen on medieval Zamora apostle sets that place their two panels side by side.

A crowd-edited tertiary reference, used here to confirm Jude Thaddaeus's traditional attributes and pairing with Simon the Zealot; independently corroborated by the Victoria and Albert Museum's own catalogue description of an actual 1440 to 1460 panel naming him directly, set beside its companion Simon panel in the same twelve panel series.
